| Purchase Transactions - MapPoint Web Service API |
| |
| In purchasing license access to the MapPoint Web Service API,
two considerations must be addressed: |
|
|
|
|
| What Type of Users? |
|
| There are two types of users for your application that drives the first part of
the license model; Anonymous Users or Known Users. |
|
| Anonymous Users - Internet users that hit your application without
being provisioned and/or authenticated by the application. Simply, you do not
know who they are. For example, your store locator brings in numerous unknown
users, customers/prospects who lookup a store location by address and get
driving directions. |
|
| Known Users - Your application has been built for employees,
partners or others, that you know. You have assigned them a username for access
to the application or the application is closed for their use only. If you are
using this model, you will be asked to certify the number of Known Users at the
time of ordering. |
|
|
|
| What Is The Usage Per Month? |
|
Your application will place calls to the MapPoint Web Service
for finding addresses, maps, routes, and driving directions. MapPoint Web
Service counts these calls from your application as Usage Transactions.
A usage transaction takes place every time a user clicks within your
application and calls MapPoint Web Service for a response. For example, when a
user initially puts in his or her address information and then clicks on the
Submit button asking the MapPoint Web Service for "Address Find", that is one
transaction. When a map appears in response to the above "Address Find", that is
a second transaction. If the user then clicks on the map to zoom in, that is a
third transaction. A fourth transaction occurs if that user requests driving
directions. A fifth transaction occurs if a map is delivered showing the
driving directions. A sixth or additional tranaction occurs if the user clicks on the
map to zoom in or out. A transaction occurs for every action that requests a
response from the MapPoint Web Service.
